Hi Howie, I have installed about 10 of these and all have worked well, longest operating unit about 3 years old. My only complaint is the 600V input breakers are not really thought through, as my understanding is code does not permit 600VDC within the PDP, Midnite, etc enclosure. So we use a SquareD CH361 external fused disconnect and keep all the 600V wiring external to the PDP. Curious how others approach that.

I have an existing Conext XW+ off-grid system with combox communication setup which currently has about 1.5 kW of solar feeding through 2 MX60s (no hub). We'll be adding about 5kW (on a TPM about 150' away) and I'm trying to decide if overall it would be better to use the Schneider 600v (which I haven't used before, although I have serviced the 150v XW with no real complaints). Typically I would use a Classic200, but given the ability to integrate with the XW6848 and communicate through the Combox for more offsite visibility, I'm considering the Schneider, but only if it's not going to provide me with the benefit of added service calls. TIA! Howie
